About

The Châtel de Sassy is a ruined castle in the commune of Sassy in the Calvados département of France. The castle dates from the 11th century. A charter from 1175 records the owner as Robert de Sassy.

A study in 1887 described the remains as a large rectangular enceinte with a turret in each corner. A second enceinte was defended by a moat cut into the rock. The castle is private property.
